Why are retractable leashes still even a thing? No dog owner I've seen that uses one ever has control of their dog.
I use one for my cat specifically for the reason I can't control him
i use one for my dog but i used to not use a leash at all .. he's got pretty good recall

this is why we have a strict no-retractable leash policy at work (animal shelter) or at company events. they're a pain in the ass and it's way too easy to misuse them

We use one for our daschund so she can sniff for a bit while we are walking. We keep it short on sidewalk areas and when coming into contact with other people.

It's not like my cat walks alongside me. I take him to the park and having a long leash is good for me and I can stop it from extending if he's going in a direction I don't want him to go. I don't have the problems that dog owners do with retractable leashes
